Run 12 CuAu200

Regarding the P14ia Preview Production of Run 12 CuAu200 from early 2014:

A check-list of observables and points to consider to help understand alayses' sensitivity to non-final calibrations

To unambiguously see issues due to mis-calibration of the TPC, stringent determination of triggered-event tracks is necessary. Pile-up tracks are expected to be incorrect in many ways, and they constitute a larger and larger fraction of TPC tracks as luminosity grows, so their inclusion can lead to luminosity-dependencies of what appear to be mis-calibrations but are not.

not expected to be much of an issue, as the "startless" mode of using BTOF was forced (no VPD) and the calibration used for BTOF is expected to be reasonable

broadening of, and differences in mass^2 peak positions from expectations are more likely due to TPC issues (particularly if charge-dependent, as BTOF mis-calibrations should see no charge sign dependence)

while TOF results may not be the best place to identify TPC issues, it is worth noting that BTOF-matching is beneficial to removing pile-up tracks from studies
